Dear Family and Friends,

I'm proud to tell you that I'm going "behind bars" to help in the fight against muscle disease. I'm joining other community leaders to help raise critical funds for MDA, and I need your help to reach my bail!

The Cary 2012 Lock-Up takes place on 04/19/2012, but I'm raising my bail before I go to jail! All you have to do is click here to make a secure, online donation today.
Your support will help families living in our community with muscle disease, and help guarantee that I get out of jail.
I will be sure to add you to my list of contributors.

Please support me in this important goal by visiting my fundraising page and making a contribution.
Your tax-deductible donation makes a difference to the hundreds of kids, adults and their families who live right here in our local community.

Thanks in advance for your help. Don't hesitate to call or email me with questions.

Update:
Just an update for those that are catching up with us for the first time:
This is not an official fly-in by any means. We are simply meeting at the field as always to enjoy a day of flying with people that enjoy seeing anything fly - be it helicopter, quad or hex copter, bipes, EDFs, etc.
The only difference is that we will be grilling burgers and dogs for friendly people that wish to have some fun with us, much as we did for the July 4th holiday.
We probably should call it a picnic more than a fly-in because in essence, that is what it will be. Sorry for any confusion.

One more thing: Experienced pilots at the field have their AMAs and we do encourage everyone looking to get into this hobby to get their own membership and abide by AMA flight safety rules.
Feel free to ask any of the experienced pilots about the safety rules, flight circuit (we run a NASCAR styled counter clockwise pattern) and AMA membership opportunities.
We try to enforce AMA safety guidelines at all times.

And finally, we want to make it clear that flying at this field is a privilege.
This is still state-owned property and should be treated with utmost respect.
Numerous groups fly at this field, everyone from NC State Aerospace Engineering students and the club to helicopter pilots and airplane pilots of all skill levels.
We have so far all gotten along quite well, but we'd like to ensure that this continues.
So please be respectful of other flyers, stay within the traffic pattern, clean up after yourselves, and most of all - be nice to each other.
This is a hobby meant to be fun after all.
Also, given that the area shares so many interests and draws families as much as hobbyists, we ask that everyone please mind their language and keep this a family-friendly environment.
We look forward to seeing everyone out there!
